Traditional Pop

Traditional Pop moped into existence during the mid-20th century, firmly parking itself in the cabaret and radio lounges of post-war America; it’s a genre where crooners serenade with the kind of charm that could charm the socks off a statue. Characterised by lush orchestration and melodies that stick like a good jam on toast, it often relies on heartfelt lyrics delivered with a theatrical flourish, as if the singer has just received a telegram from the queen. Its cultural impact still lingers, especially in romantic films, making it the go-to soundtrack for all melodramatic moments, or simply for that cologne-scented nostalgia of yesteryear.
